Homebrew PCBs

Ok, -- I want to try to make some PCB's, but I'm getting a little lost 
with all the information.  Here's what I have:

HP Laserjet 4MP (with after market (non HP) toner)
Generic Glossy Photo paper for Inkjet printers . .

Should I even start with these?  What's the cheapest way to get 
started?  Go to staples and buy their (Staples Brand) paper and do the 
paper soak away?

Please let me know!
